THE 

ORDER FOR HOLY BAPTISM. 



FIRST FORM. 

Minister: 

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of 
the Holy Ghost. 

Answer: Amen. 

IT A Baptismal Hymn may he sung. 

Minister : 

Dearly Beloved ! We learn daily from the Word 
of God, and from the experience of our own lives, 
that all men are conceived and born in sin. In this 
evil estate, exposed to the divine wrath, we must have 
been condemned and forever lost, except our Lord 
Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of the Father, 
had delivered us therefrom. 

This child, likewise, is by nature corrupt and 
depraved through sin, and is subject to everlasting 
death and condemnation ; 

But God, the Father of all grace and mercy, hath 
promised and sent His Son Jesus Christ to the whole 
world, and therefore no less to the little children than 
to those of riper years. Who hath borne the sins of 
the whole world and hath redeemed and saved the 
little children, no less than others, from sin, from 
death, and from everlasting condemnation, and 
hath commanded that they be brought to Him that 
He may bless them ; He also most graciously receiveth 
them, and promiseth them the kingdom of heaven ; 



34 

Wherefore I beseech you that ye would earnestly 
intercede for this child with our Lord God, that ye 
would bring it to the Lord Jesus Christ, and unite 
in imploring Him that He would grant it fche for- 
giveness of sins and admit it into the kingdom of 
grace and salvation ; 

Nothing doubting that He favorably alloweth this 
our charitable work toward this child, and that He 
certainly heareth our prayers, since He himself hath 
given commandment to bring the little children to 
Him, and hath promised to receive them into His 
kingdom. 

Forasmuch then, as Baptism hath been commanded 
by our Lord Jesus Christ, when He spake to His dis- 
ciples, as is written in the last chapter of Matthew: 
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them 
in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the 
Holy Ghost ; and hath also His comfortable promise : 
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved ; in 
obedience therefore to God's command and trusting 
in His promise, ye should present this child for Holy 
Baptism, that it may be baptized in the Name of 
God. 

IT Where the ancient use of signing with the cross is still observed^ 
or when it is desired by those presenting the child, the Minister may 
make a cross upon the child's forehead and breast, in token that it is 
redeemed by Christ crucified, saying : Receive the sign of the Holy 
Cross, both in thy forehead f and in thy breast f . 

Minister: Let us pray. 

Almighty and eternal God, the Father of our 
Lord Jesus Christ ; We call upon Thee for this child 
which seeketh the gift of Thy Baptism and Thine ever- 
lasting grace through spiritual regeneration. Receive 
7i, O Lord, as Thou hast promised, saying: Ask, and 
it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, 



35 

and it shall be opened unto you; so give now Thy 
good gift unto kim that asketh; let him that seeketh, 
find; open the door unto him that kaocketh, that he 
may enjoy the everlasting benediction of this heavenly 
washing, and may come to the eternal kingdom which 
Thou hast promised, through Christ our Lord. 

Answer: Amen. 
Minister : 

Almighty and everlasting God, "Who of Thy righte- 
ous judgment didst destroy the unbelieving world by 
the waters of the flood, when of Thy great mercy 
Thou didst save faithful Noah and his family ; Who 
didst drown wicked Pharaoh, with all his army, in the 
Red Sea, yet didst lead Thy people Israel safely 
through the midst thereof, prefiguring thereby the 
washing of Thy Holy Baptism ; and Who, by the 
Baptism of Thy well-beloved Son, our Lord Jesus 
Christ, didst sanctify and appoint Jordan and all 
waters to a saving flood, and to the abundant washing 
away of sins ; We beseech Thee, of Thine infinite 
mercy, graciously to look upon this child, endow it 
with true faith by the Holy Ghost, that by this salut- 
ary flood, whatsoever of the old Adam is inborn and 
works in it, may be washed clean away, and that being 
delivered out of the number of the unbelieving, it 
may be kept safe in the holy ark of Christ's Church, 
and being ever fervent in SjDirit and joyful through 
hope, may serve Thy Name, and finally, with all who 
believe Thy promise, attain to everlasting life, through 
Jesus Christ our Lord. 

Answer: Amen. 

Minister : 

Hear the Holy Gospel according to St. Mark. 

Mark X. 13-lG, 



36 

And they brought young children to Him, that He 
should touch them: and His disciples rebuked those 
that brought them. But when Jesus saw it. He was 
much displeased, and said unto them : Suffer the little 
children to come unto Me, and forbid them not ; for 
of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto 
you, whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God 
as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And He 
took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them, 
and blessed them. 

IT Then shall the Minister say this Exhortation to those who 
present the child for Baptism : 

I admonish you who are willing to do so charitable a 
work to this child now at its Baptism, that ye diligently 
and faithfully teach it the Ten Commandments, that 
it may learn to know the will of God and its own sin- 
fulness; also the Christian Faith, as it is set forth in 
the Creed, by which faith we obtain grace^ the for- 
giveness of sins and the gift of the Holy Ghost; and 
finally the Lord's Prayer, that he may call upon God 
and find help to withstand the devil and to lead a 
Christian life, till God shall perfect what He will now 
begin in him in Holy Baptism and shall bring him to 
eternal salvation. 

IT Then the Minister, layinr/ his right hand upon the head of 
the chilli, shall say the Lord's Prayer, and the Sponsors and all the 
people present shall say it with him. 

Our Father, Who art in heaven; Hallowed be Thy 
Name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on 
earth, as it is in heaven; Give us this day our daily, 
bread; And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive 
those who trespass against us; And lead us not into 
temptation; But deliver us from evil; For Thine is 
the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever 
and ever. Amen, 



37 

Minister : 

The Lord preserve thy coming in and thy going 
out, from this time forth and even forevermore. 

IT Then shall the Minister demand that the child, by its Sponsors, 
renounce the devil. 

Minister : 

Dost thou renounce the devil, and all his works, 
and all his ways ? 

Answer : Yes, I renounce. 

IT Then shall the Minister ask : 

Dost thou believe in God, the Father Almighty, 
Maker of heaven and earth ? 

Answer : Yes, I believe. 

Minister : 

Dost thou believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our 
Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born 
of the Virgin Mary; Suffered under Pontius Pilate, 
Was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into 
hell; The third day He rose again from the dead ; 
He ascended into heaven. And sitteth on the right 
hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence He 
shall come to judge the quick and the dead ? 

Answer : Yes, I believe. 

Minister : 

Dost thou believe in the Holy Ghost; The Holy 
Christian Church, the Communion of Saints; The 
Forgiveness of sins; The Eesurrection of the body; 
And the Life everlasting? 

Answer : Yes, I believe. 



38 

Minister : 

Wilt thou be baptized in this Christian Faith? 

Answer : Yes, I will. 

11 The Minister may then ask : How shall this child he named ? and 
he shall baptize it with water , using it when each of the three Holy 
Names is said. 

Minister : 

N. I baptize thee in the Name of the Father, and of 
the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. 

IT Then the Minister shall lay his right hand upon the head of the 

child and say : 

Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
Who hath begotten thee again of water and of the 
Holy Ghost and hath forgiven thee all thy sins, 
strengthen thee with His grace unto everlasting life. 

Answer: Amen. 

Minister : Peace be with thee. 

Answer : Amen. 

Minister ; Let us pray. 

We yield Thee hearty thanks, merciful Father, 
that thou dost graciously preserve and enlarge Thy 
Church, and that Thou hast granted unto this child, 
that being born again in Holy Baptism, and made a 
member of Thy dear Son our Lord and only Saviour 
Jesus Christ, it is made Thy child and an heir of Thy 
heavenly possessions. We humbly beseech Thee, that 
as it is now made Thy child. Thou wouldst keep it 
steadfast by Thy grace, that so it may be virtuously 
brought up, according to Thy good pleasure, to lead 
a godly life, to the praise of Thy holy Name, and 
finally, with all Thy Saints, obtain the promised in- 
heritance in heaven, through Jesus Christ our Lord, 



39 

Answer: Amen. 

The Benediction. 
Minister : 

The Lord bless thee, and keep thee. 

The Lord make His face shine upon thee, and be 
gracious unto thee. 

The Lord lift up His countenance upon thee, and 
give thee peace. 

Ansioer : Amen. 



THE BAPTISM OF INFANTS. 



SECOXD FORM. 

Dearly Beloved! Our Lord and Saviour Jesus 
Christ has given commandment to his ministers to 
make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the 
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy 
Ghost, teaching them to observe all things, whatso- 
ever he has commanded. It was the manifest intent- 
ion of the blessed Saviour, that little children should 
not be excluded from the benefits which were thus to 
l)e conveyed. The promise is not only to us, but also 
to our children. Among the people of Israel the 
Lord directed that infants at eight days old should 
be received into the covenant made with Abraham. 
Under the new Testament, when heads of families 
were converted to Christ, the Apostles baptized them 
and their households. And it is written concerning 
the Lord Jesus, that 'Hhey brought young children 
to Him, that He should touch them; and his disciples 
rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus 
saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them: 



40 

Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid 
them not; for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily 
I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the king- 
dom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. 
And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon 
them, and blessed them." 

Doubt not, therefore, but earnestly believe, that he 
is likewise willing to receive this child, to embrace him 
with the arms of His mercy, to give to him the bless- 
ing of eternal life, and to make him partaker of his 
everlasting kingdom. 

But, forasmuch as all men are conceived and born 
in sin, and the Saviour saith, None can enter into the 
kingdom of God except he be regenerate and born 
anew of water and of the Spirit, I beseech you to call 
upon God the Father, through our Lord Jesus Christ, 
that, of his bounteous mercy, he will grant to this 
child that which by nature he cannot have; that he 
may be baptized, as with water, so with the Sjoirit, 
and be received into the Church as a living member 
of the same. 

Let us pray. 

Almighty and eternal God, the Father of our Lord 
Jesus Christ ! We entreat Thee, in behalf of this child, 
that Thou wouldst vouchsafe to him Thy favor, grant- 
ing him that Baptism which is from above, the wash- 
ing away of sin, and the sanctification of the Holy 
Ghost, Receive him, O Lord, according to Thy 
promise to hear our prayers, that he may be adopted 
into the family of Thy saints, enjoy Thy perpetual 
benediction, and come into Thine eternal kingdom, 
through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

Our Father, who art in heaven; Hallowed be Thy 
name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done, on 
earth as it is in heaven; Give us this day our daily 



41 

bread; And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive 
those who trespass against us; And lead us not into 
temptation; But deliver us from evil; For thine is the 
Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, for ever 
and ever. Amen. 

Do you in the name of this child, renounce the devil 
and all his works and ways? — Aiis,: "Yes." 

Do you believe in God the Father Almighty, maker 
of heaven and earth? 

And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who 
was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin 
Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, 
dead and buried; descended into hell, the third day 
He rose again from the dead, ascended into heaven, 
and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Al- 
mighty, from thence he shall come to judge the quick 
and the dead ? 

Do you also believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy 
Christian Church, the communion of saints, the for- 
giveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the 
life everlasting ? — Ans.: "Yes.'' 

Is it your desire that this child shall be baptized 
into the Christian faith? and are you resolved to in- 
struct him, or have him Gainfully instructed, in the 
Gospel of our Lord Jesus, and to teach Mtyi to Avalk 
according to God^s commandments? — Ans,: "Yes." 

[Name this child.] 

N. N. I baptize thee, in the name of the Father, and 
of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. 

Let us pray. 

Gracious Father in heaven ! We render Thee our 
hearty thanks for this child, and that Thou hast ac- 
cepted him into the covenant and kingdom of Thy 
grace, in which we have the forgiveness of sins and 



42 

the promise of everlasting life. Grant, we beseech 
Thee, that, being buried with Christ by baptism, he 
may be dead unto sin and made alive unto righteous- 
ness. Subdue in him all evil desires, and guide him 
into the saving knowledge of Thyself, that in the end, 
together with his parents and all saints, he may in- 
herit Thy blessed kingdom, through Jesus Christ our 
Lord. Amen. 

The Lord bless you, and keep you. The Lord make 
His face shine upon you, and be gracious unto you. 
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give 
you peace. Amen. 

Baptism of Infants upon Sudden 
Emergencies. 

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you 

all ! Amen. 

Whether we live, we live unto the Lord ; and 
whether we die, we die unto the Lord ; whether we 
live therefore or die, we are the Lord's. 

This blessed consolation let us gratefully take to 
heart, in the present instance, forasmuch as the con- 
dition of this little child leads us to apprehend that 
the hour of his departure may be at hand. Our only 
trust in life and in death is that we are the purchased 
possession of our faithful Saviour. Hence we bring 
this child unto him, firmly believing that He will j^ro- 
vide for him in time and eternity. For he saith, " Suffer 
the little children to come unto me and forbid them 
not ; for of such is the Kingdom of God. Therefore 
let us draw nigh with confidence unto God and pre- 
sent this child, which is His and not our own, unto 
Him, that he may be received into the covenant and 
Kingdom of his grace. , 



48 

Is it your desire that this child shall be baptized 
into the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy 
Ghost and are you resolved, God sparing his life, to 
instruct him, or to have Mm carefully instructed, in 
the Gospel of our Lord Jesus, and to teach him to 
walk according to God's commandments? 

Answer: "Yes." 

K N, I baptize thee, in the name of the Father, and 
of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. 

TJie Minister, laying his right hand upon the head of the child, says : 

The Lord, whose own thou art in life and in death, 
and out of whose hand no one can pluck thee, do unto 
thee according to his divine will in time and eternity. 
Amen. 

Let us pray. 

Gracious Father in heaven! Let Thy grace be 
manifested upon this child, which has now been com- 
mitted and sanctified unto Thee for time and eternity. 
It is Thy child, O Father, and we know that Thy love 
is greater by far, than the love of earthly parents. 
Therefore do Thou unto him according to Thy good 
pleasure. Not our will, dear Father, but Thy will 
be done. If thou wilt spare his life and restore his 
health, grant that, abiding in faith, he may grow in 
grace to the glory of Thy name and the joy of his 
parents. If, however, it should be Thy will to take him 
from this world and transplant him into the celestial 
home, we will still praise Thy holy name. Thou hast 
redeemed him, Thou faithful Lord ; into Thy hands 
do we commit his spirit. Amen. 

Our Father, who art, etc. 

The Lord bless thee and keep thee, etc. 



44 

THE COMMUNION OF THE SICK. 

The Lord be with you ! 

Beloved in Christ I You desire to receive the Holy 
Supper of our Lord Jesus Christ, for the comfort and 
strengthening of your soul. You should come to this 
Holy Sacrament with a due sense of the vanity of all 
earthly things, of which your sickness forcibly re- 
minds you; with serious reflections on the hour, (per- 
haps near at hand,) of your departure from this 
world; and with solemn thoughts of that eternity to- 
ward which we are hastening. In order that you may 
worthily partake of this Sacrament, be mindful of the 
exhortation of the Apostle: "Let a man examine him- 
self, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of 
that cup.'' Remember also the words, "If we say 
that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the 
truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins, God is 
faithful and just, to forgive us our sins and to cleanse 
us from all unrighteousness." Draw nigh therefore to 
God with an humble and penitent heart, and beseech 
Him to grant you His grace for Jesus sake, and con- 
fess your sins, saying: 

Almighty God, heavenly Father! I come before 
Thee deeply humbled on account of my manifold sins, 
I would confess them unto Thee with sincere sorrow 
and heartfelt penitence, and I desire to find peace for 
my soul, through faith in Thy dear Son, whom Thou 
hast delivered up to suffer and die that He might 
redeem the world. O sanctify unto me this sacred 
eating and drinking of His body and blood. Grant 
and seal unto me the blessed assurance that Thou 
wilt not remember my sins against me; but for the 
sake of my dear Saviour, vouchsafe unto me the for- 
giveness of -all my sins, and let Thy fatherly mercy 



»> 



45 

be upon me. It is my serious purpose to serve Thee 
with filial gratitude and faithfulness, and to do and 
suffer Thy holy will to the end of my days. Do Thou 
graciously strengthen me, by Thy mighty power, in 
carrying this purpose into effect. O God, my hope is 
in Thee; have mercy upon me, and give me Thy 
j)eace. Amen. 

In order that you may yourself confirm this con- 
fession, I ask you : 

Do you humbly acknowledge and heartily lament 
3 our sins ? Do you believe that God, your merciful 
Father, will, for the sake of Jesus Christ your Saviour, 
pardon all your offenses? And are you resolved, 
should God prolong your days, to lead the remainder 
of your life in his fear and to his glory ? Then de 
clare it before the Omniscient God by saying: "Yes. 

Absolution, 

Upon this thy confession, by virtue of my office, 
as a called and ordained servant of the Word, I an- 
nounce unto thee the grace of God, and in the stead 
and by the command of my Lord Jesus Christ, I for- 
give thee all thy sins, in the name of God the Father, 
Gcd the Son, God the Holy Ghost. Amen. 

Or, 

According to your faith be it nnto you. Upon this confession 
which you have made, by virtue of my office as a minister of 
Jesus Christ, I declare unto you the entire forgiveness of all 
your sins, in the name of the Father, and the Son, and of the 
Holy Ghost. Amen. 

Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the night in which he 
was betrayed, took bread: and when he had given 
thanks, he brake and gave it to his disciples, saying: 
Take, eat, this is my body, which is given for you; 
this do in remembrance of me. 



46 

After the same manner, also, he took the cup, when 
he had supped, and when he had given thanks, he 
gave it to them, saying: Drink ye all of it; this cup 
is the New Testament in My blood, which is shed for 
you and for many, for the remission of sins; this do, 
as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of Me. 

Our Father, who art in heaven; Hallowed be Thy 
name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth, 
as it is in heaven; Give us this day our daily bread; 
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those 
who trespass against us; And lead us not into temp- 
tation; But deliver us from evil; For Thine is the 
Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, for ever and 
ever. Amen. 

The Distribution: 

Take, eat, this is the body, &c. 

Take and drink, this is the blood, &c. 

Let us pray: 

O God, my heavenly Father, I thank Thee, that 
Thou hast refreshed me with the holy Supper of my 
Saviour. Give me grace to live the life, which I now 
live in the flesh, in the faith of Thy dear Son. I com- 
mend my soul to Thee, most merciful God, my 
Creator. Thou wilt not forsake me while I live in 
this world; Thou wilt in mercy remember all my 
household; and when my last hour shall have come, 
Thou wilt redeem me from all evil, and bring me to 
Thy heavenly kingdom. 

Cause now this heavenly food so to strengthen and 
keep me in faith and love, in patience and hoj^e, that 
I may with childlike trust submit to Thy fatherly will, 
give praises to Thy holy name even amid trials and 
sufferings, and, living or dying, continue Thine 



47 

forever in body and soul, through Jesus Christ, my 
Saviour. Amen. 

The Lord bless thee, &c. 



The Solemnization of Marriage. 

Dearly Beloved, 

We are gathered together here, in the sight of God, 
and in the presence of these witnesses, to join to- 
gether this man and this woman in holy wedlock, 
which is an honorable estate, and is not to be entered 
into unadvisedly or lightly, but reverently, discreetly, 
and in the fear of God. 

The Holy Scriptures teach us that marriage is an 
institution of God himself, and therefore approved by 
Him; that, according to the Divine ordinance, a man 
and his wife are one flesh; that what is thus joined 
together no man may put asunder; that the husband 
is the head of the wife, as Christ is the head of the 
Church; and that it is the duty of those who are thus 
united, to love one another, to be mutually faithful, 
and to keep to each other throughout life. 

Into this holy estate these two persons now come 
to be united. If any man, therefore, can show just 
cause why they may not lawfully be joined together, 
let him now speak, or else hereafter forever hold his 
peace. 

( Then, addressing the persons to he married, the minister may say:) 

I also require and charge you both, as you shall 
answer at the dreadful day of judgment, when the 
secrets of all hearts shall be disclosed, that if either 
of you know of any impediment why you may not 
lawfully be united in marriage, ye do now confess it; 
for be you well assured, that if any persons are joinect 



48 

together otherwise than as God's word allows, their 
marriage is not lawful. 

Premising, then, that there is nothing to hinder 
your union, or to render your marriage improper, 

I ask you {the man), N., Do you take N. here pres- 
ent to your wedded wife, to live together after God's 
ordinance in the state of marriage ? Will you love her, 
comfort her, honor and keep her, as a faithful 
Christian husband is bound to do, in health and sick- 
ness, in prosperity and adversity, and forsaking all 
others, keep you only unto her, so long as you both 
shall live ? 

Answer, I do. 

In like manner I also ask you {the woman), N., Do 
you take N. here present to your wedded husband, to 
live together after God's ordinance in the state of 
marriage ? Will you love him, comfort him, honor and 
keep him, as a faithful Christian wife is bound to do, 
in health and sickness, in prosperity and adversity, 
and, forsaking all others, keep you only unto him, so 
long as you both shall live ? 

Answer, I do. 

(If a ring is to he used, the minister then says:) 

You will now according to ancient usage, witness 
your troth by the use of the ring. 

The ring is an emblem of eternity. Its precious 
material is a type of the bright and pure affection 
which should mark the relations of holy wedlock. It 
is worn as a band of ornament and grace. And with 
this ring you do each other wed. 

(Here, handing it to the man to he placed hy him upon the finger 
of the woman, the minister continues :) 

Thus enduring, pure, and excellent be the bonds 
of that union of iov^ to which you mutually testify 1 



49 

Join your right hands. 

What God hath joined together, let no man put 
asunder. 

Inasmuch as these two, N. and N., have consented 
together in holy wedlock, and have witnessed the 
same before God and these witnesses, as a minister of 
Jesus Christ, I pronounce that they are man and wife, 
in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the 
Holy Ghost. 

Let us pray : 

Heavenly Father, in whose presence these stand 
with hands and hearts united, and who hast heard 
their mutual vows : we pray Thee to look graciously 
upon them and to ratify with Thy favor and blessing 
the union into which they have entered. So rule and 
sanctify their hearts by Thy grace, that they may 
never cease to love each other, nor ever forget the 
solemn covenant which they have made before Thee. 
Give them grace always to commend themselves to 
each other, to cherish a due regard for each others 
feelings and opinions, to be just to each others virtues 
and intentions, to be lenient to each others infirmi- 
ties, and so to travel together hand in hand through 
all the pathway of life. And, having been pious, vir- 
tuous, and happy in their connection here upon earth, 
may they at last be made partakers of Thine ever- 
lasting love and bliss, through Jesus Christ our 
Saviour. Amen.- 

The Lord bless you and keep you. 

The Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be 
gracious unto you. 

The Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and 
give you peace. Amen.

THE BURIAL OF THE DEAD, 



Prefatory Sentences: 

The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away : 
blessed be the name of the Lord. 

Affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth 
trouble spring out of the ground; yet man is born 
unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. 

It is appointed unto men once to die. 

As by one man sin entered into the world, and 
death by sin : so death passed upon all men. 

No man hath power over the spirit to retain the 
spirit. 

They that trust in their wealth, and boast in the 
multitude of their riches, none of them can by any 
means redeem his brother, nor give a ransom for him, 
that he should still live. 

The Lord destroyeth the hope of man. He changeth 
his countenance, and sendeth him away. 

There is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it 
will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof 
shall not cease. Though the root thereof wax old in 
the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground, 
yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring 
forth boughs like a plant. But man dieth, and 
wasteth away : yea, man giveth up the ghost, and 
where is he ? 

SELECTIONS FEOM THE GOSPELS. 

For the Funeral of an Adult, 

Hear, then, the words of our Lord Jesus Christ ; — 
"Verily, verily, I say unto you. He that heareth my 
word, and believeth on Him that sent me, hath ever- 



51 

lasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; 
but is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily, I 
say unto you, the hour is coming, and now is, when 
the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and 
they that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life 
in himself, so hath he given to the Son to have life in 
himself, and hath given him authority to execute 
judgment also, because he is the Son of man. Marvel 
not at this : For the hour is coming, in the which all 
that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall 
come forth."— John v. 24-29. 

" I am the Resurrection, and the Life ; he that be- 
lie veth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live : 
and whosoever liveth, and believeth in me, shall never 
die."— John xi. 25, 26. 

For the funeral of a child. 

Hear, then, beloved, the comforting words of our 
Lord Jesus Christ, where he saith, "Suffer the little 
children to come unto Me, and forbid them not; for 
of such is the kingdom of heaven." 

" I say unto you, that in heaven their angels do al- 
ways behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. 
The Son of man is come to save that which was lost. 
Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in 
heaven, that one of these little ones should perish." 

SELECTIONS FEOM THE EPISTLES. 

Hear also what the holy Apostle St. Paul saith : — 
" I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, con- 
cerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, 
even as others which have no hope. For if we believe 
that Jesus Christ died and rose again, even so them 
also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him," — 
1 Thess. iv. 13, 14 



52 

" Now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the 
first-fruits of them that slept. For since by man 
came death, by man came also the resurrection of the 
dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall 
all be made alive. But every man in his own order: 
Christ the first-fruits, afterwards they that are Christ's 
at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall 
have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the 
Father; when he shall have put down all rule, and all 
authority and power. For he must reign till he hath 
put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that 
shall be destroyed is death. 

"But some will say. How are the dead raised up? 
and with what body do they come? Thou fool, that 
which thou sowest is not quickened except it die : 
and that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that 
body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of 
wheat, or of some other grain ; but God giveth it a 
body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his 
own body. All flesh is not the same flesh; but there is 
one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, an- 
other of fishes, another of birds. There are also celest- 
ial bodies, and bodies terrestrial : but the glory of 
the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is 
another. There is one glory of the sun, and another 
glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for 
one star differeth from another star in glory. So also 
is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in cor- 
ruption, it is raised in incorruption : it is sown in dis- 
honor, it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness, it 
is raised in power: it is sown a natural body, it is 
raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and 
there is a spiritual body. Howbeit, that was not first 
which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and 
afterward that which is spiritual. The first m^ii

is of earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from 
heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are 
earthy; and as is the heavenly, such are they also 
that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image 
of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the 
heavenly. 

"Now, this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood can- 
not inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth cor- 
ruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I show you a 
mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be 
changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at 
the last trump : for the trumpet shall sound, and the 
dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be 
changed. For this corruptible must put on incor- 
ruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 

"So when this corruptible shall have put on incor- 
ruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, 
then shall be brought to pass the saying that is writ- 
ten: Death is swallowed up in victory. O Death, 
where is thy sting ? O grave, where is thy victory ? 
The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is 
the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the 
victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ." — 1 Cor. 
XV. 20-57.

THE PRAYER. 

Almighty and most merciful God, in whose hands 
are all the children of men! Thou hast been our 
dwelling-place in all generations. Before the moun- 
tains were brought forth, or ever the earth or the sea 
was formed, even from everlasting to everlasting, 
thou art God. Thou turnest man to destruction; and 
sayest, Return, ye children of men, A thousand years 



54 

in Thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and 
as a watch in the night. Thou carriest men away as 
with a flood; they are as asleep. We are consumed 
by Thine anger, and by Thy wrath are we troubled. 
Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, our secret 
sins in the light of Thy countenance. Have mercy 
upon us, O Lord God, and let us now find favor in 
Thy sight. Help us, we beseech Thee, to attend to 
the solemn lessons addressed to us on this mournful 
occasion. Enable us to lay to heart that all flesh is 
as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of 
grass: the grass wifhereth, and the flower thereof 
falleth away. Teach us the number of our days, what 
it is, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom, and 
spare us yet a little, that we may recover strength 
before we go hence and be no more seen. Give us 
grace to live by faith on Thy Son Jesus Christ, and 
to do what our hands find to do, that when He who 
is our life shall appear, we also may appear with him 
in glory. 

Lord, Thou art our only refuge in times of trouble. 
To Thy fatherly goodness do we commend those 
whom Thou hast afliicted by this dispensation of Thy 
providence. Let the pains of their bereavement be 
softened by the hopeful assurances of Thy holy word. 
Cause the fruits of this their sore chastisement to be 
righteousness and peace. Let the removal of their 
loved and cherished one serve to direct their affec- 
tions heavenward, that they may seek those things 
which are above, where Christ sitteth. [Be thou a 
father to the fatherless, and a husband to the widow. 
Remember to them Thy gracious covenant of old, and 
let not Thy mercy depart from them.] Fulfil unto 
them Thy blessed promise of good from all things to 
them that love Thee, May they not sorrow as tho^e 



55 

who have no hope, but have abundant consolations 
for all their griefs, and a far more exceeding and 
eternal weight of glory for all their sufferings upon 
the earth. These blessings, and all others which may 
be needful for them, for us, and for all men, we 
humbly ask, in the name and for the sake of our ador- 
able Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Or, 

O most merciful God, the Father of our Lord Jesus 
Christ: under the shadow of Thy sore judgments we 
come to Thee as our only helper. Thou art the Lord, 
and beside Thee there is none else. Thou hast entered 
this house with Thy chastenings, and hast here caused 
Thy sovereign power to be felt. Oh, be Thou nigh, 
in Thy tender compassion, to this afflicted household. 
Bless these Thy sorrowing servants with the consola- 
tions of Thy grace, which alone is adequate to their 
helj). Take them into Thy gracious keeping, and fill 
their bleeding hearts with the soothing balm of Thy 
love. Let there be light in the midst of this dark 
night of their grief. Deliver us all, O God, from the 
bondage of our sins, that we may be free from the 
fear of death, and be ready at Thy call to depart 
hence and be at peace. Whether we live, may we 
live unto the Lord, or wether we die, may we die un- 
to the Lord. And so unite us to Christ Jesus, and 
work in us by the sanctifying influences of the Holy 
Ghost, that, whether living or dying, we may be the 
Lord's. 

Our Father who art in heaven, &c. 

Or, 
In case the deceased he a child — 

Lord God of heaven and earth ! Thou hast revealed 
Thyself to us as our Father. Behold us, we pray 



56 

Thee, with a Father's compassion, as we now lift up 
our hearts unto Thee. Thou art our only Refuge and 
Strength. All earthly comforts do but wither and 
fade away. Our hopes are blasted in a moment, and 
are gone! Thou givest for a little while, and then 
takest again. The flower is cut down in the tender 
bud, and death spareth not even the innocence of 
childhood. Oh, let not our faith in Thy righteous 
goodness be shaken by the mysteriousness of Thy 
ways. With all our trials, help us still to put our 
trust in Thee, and to hope through Thy mercy. Send 
forth the consolations of Thy word especially into the 
hearts which grieve over the early death of the child 
Thou hast taken from this family. Give to the 
afflicted parents a meek submission to Thy fatherly 
chastenings. Help them to see Thy gracious hand in 
what they suffer, to realize that what has faded from 
them here still blooms immortal in the heavens, and 
to lean with peaceful confidence upon Thy promises, 
that they may not sorrow beyond what is meet and 
right. Graciously overrule this dispensation to their 
spiritual good, that it may draw them into still closer 
communion with Thee, and the better fit them for a 
devoted life and a glorious immortality. And at last, 
with all the congregation of little ones whom Thou 
hast called to Thyself, and with the whole company 
of the sanctified, may they, and all of us, have our 
everlasting portion and rest, through Jesus Christ 
our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the 
Holy Ghost for ever and ever. Amen. 

THE SERVICE AT THE GRAVE. 

After the corpse has been lowered into the grave, the minister says : 

Man that is born of a woman hath but a short time 
to live, and is full of trouble. He cometh up like a 



57 

flower, and is cut down; he fleeth as it were a shadow, 
and continueth not. 

In the midst of life we are in death. Of whom may 
we seek for succor, but of Thee, O Lord, who for our 
sins art justly displeased? 

Yet, O Lord God most holy, O Lord most mighty, 
O holy and most merciful Saviour, deliver us not into 
the bitter pains of eternal death. 

Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts : shut 
not Thy merciful ears to our prayers; but spare us. 
Lord most holy, O God most mighty, O holy and 
merciful Saviour, Thou most worthy Judge eternal. 
Suffer us not, at our last hour, for any pains of death 
to fall from Thee. 

Forasmuch as it hath pleased Almighty God, in his 
wise providence, to take out of this world the soul of 
our deceased brother, (sister or child,) we therefore 
commit his (her) body to the ground; earth to earth, 
ashes to ashes, dust to dust: looking for the general 
resurrection in the last day, and the life of the world 
to come, through our Lord Jesus Christ; at whose 
second coming in glorious majesty to judge the world, 
the earth and the sea shall give up their dead; and 
the corruptible bodies of those who sleep in him shall 
be changed, and made like unto his own glorious 
body; according to the mighty working whereby he 
is able to subdue all things unto himself. 

"I heard a voice from heaven, saying unto me. 
Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord 
from henceforth: yea, saith the Spirit, that they may 
rest from their labors; and their works do follow 
them." — Rev. xiv 13, 

Prayer: 

Almighty God, who hast promised by Thy Son Jesus 
Christ to destroy death, and by his rest in the toml? 



58 

hast sanctified the graves of Thy saints, and by His 
glorious resurrection hast brought life and immor- 
tality to light, so that all who die in Him abide in 
peace and hope ; receive, we pray thee, our unfeigned 
thanks for that victory which He has obtained for us, 
and for all who sleep in Him; and keep us who are 
still in the body, in everlasting fellowship with all 
that wait for Thee on earth, and with all that arc 
around Thee in heaven, in union with Him who is the 
Besurrection and the Life, who liveth and reigneth 
with Thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world 
without end. Amen. 

Another Prayer, which may he used along with the 
preceeding. 

Almighty God, with whom do live the spirits of 
those who depart hence in the Lord, and with whom 
the souls of the faithful, after they are delivered 
from the burden of the flesh, are in joy and felicity: 
we give Thee hearty thanks for the good examples of 
all those Thy servants, who, having finished their 
course in faith, do now rest from their labors. And 
we beseech Thee that we, with all who have loved 
and served Thee, may have our perfect consummation 
and bliss, both in body and soul, in Thine everlasting 
glory, through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of 
God, and the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with 
us all, evermore. Amen.
